Inventys Thermal Technologies Inc. (“Inventys”) announced today that it has signed a Research and Development Agreement (“Agreement”) with Suncor Energy to develop the VeloxoThermTM CO2 Capture Technology for deployment in carbon capture and storage projects and CO2 enhanced oil recovery ventures.

“This new agreement with Suncor represents a significant milestone for us, as we advance our commercialization strategy,” said Andre Boulet, President and CEO of Inventys. “Suncor has provided us with valuable support in the current commercialization work plan funded in part by the Government of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program.”

“We look forward to working with Suncor on the development of our VeloxoThermTM CO2 capture technology and working towards the deployment of strategically located commercial scale facilities,” said Boulet.

CO2 is a greenhouse gas that is produced by the combustion of fossil fuels. In recent years, climate change has been increasingly attributed to rising CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere. CO2 capture and storage (CCS) is considered a leading mitigation strategy for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Governments around the world are planning for the mandatory reduction of CO2 emissions as part of their environmental strategies.

As part of the capture and storage process, CO2 can also be used for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR). EOR is a 40 year old commercially proven process where CO2 is injected into mature oil fields to push the stranded oil to the surface. The United States alone has a potential of 50 billion barrels ($3.5 trillion dollars) of incremental oil production using CO2 EOR.

About Inventys
Inventys is commercializing the lowest cost and most energy efficient technology for capturing post-combustion CO2 from industrial flue gas streams. The proprietary VeloxoTherm™ process is less than one-third the cost of existing capture technologies and uniquely enables CO2 capture at a price point that unlocks an enormous and lucrative opportunity – CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR). Inventys’ goal is to rapidly create enterprise value by securing a significant share of the CO2 EOR value chain and become a global technology supplier for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Inventys is currently working on several pilot plant demonstration projects and partnering with some of the world’s largest energy and manufacturing companies to rapidly deploy the technology.
